Two Faucets

2/15/06

We’re now in the Queen's country – The U.K. We’re staying in a nice district called Lancaster Gate. There’s a very large park outside our hotel and a river (I’m sure it’s got a name, but we don’t know it yet) of which you can see downtown London waiting for us maybe a 5 minute cab ride away. Directly across from our room and on the other side of the park is the Royal Albert Hall where many a famous musician has performed.

Since our flight from New York left at about 1am EST and neither of us slept on the plane, we got to London, grabbed lunch, took a $100 cab ride to the hotel and slept from about 6pm to 7am. And we still don’t feel rested. Jet lag sucks…

The first thing I noticed about our hotel room (which is quite comfortable) is that our sink has two separate faucets. One for Hot and one for… yes, Cold. So, in order to get an appropriate water temperature to wash one’s hands or face you have to do your own quick mixing from one faucet to the other. Man, the Brits have it all wrong.

Anyway, we’re off to eat and see this land of Narnia! Cheers.















Off to London.
